Suhagra 100mg is, used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and erectile dysfunction i.e. lack of ability to maintain or achieve an erection to perform sexual activity in men because of inadequate flow of blood in the penis. It can make an erection through relaxation of the penile the blood vessels, thereby escalating blood flow into the penis, which is essential to maintain an erection in response to sexual stimuli. It should be noted, that Suhagra cannot work without sexual stimulation and it does not increase libido. It primarily works through inhibition of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This is an enzyme that carries forward cGMP degradation, which in turn regulates blood flow in the penis. Cipla is the manufacturer of Suhagra. It is a generic version of Viagra which has been proved as a very effective and safe drug to be used in erectile dysfunction.

Special warnings and precautions for use: Administration of Suhagra 100mg should be done with caution if the patient has cardiovascular risk factors. Severe cardiovascular problems have been noted after use of Suhagra (cerebrovascular haemorrhage, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, ventricular arrhythmia, transient ischaemic attack, hypertension and hypotension, unstable angina).

Patients suffering from priapism and anatomical deformation (cavernosal fibrosis, angulation or Peyronie's disease) of the penis proper treatment should be done instead of using Suhagra as it may cause permanent loss of sexual potency. Prolonged erections are another aspect that need to be monitored and if erection persists for more than four hours immediate assistance of doctors should be taken.

Suhagra can also cause peptic ulcer and bleeding disorder, though no specific case has been reported. The coating contains lactose, so cannot be used for patients suffering from galactose intolerance. Suhagra is not for adult women and children.

Interaction with other medicinal products: Inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms 3A4 (major route) and 2C9 (minor route) through which metabolism of Suhagra takes place, can cause reduction in the rate of Suhagra clearance. Similarly inducers of these isoenzymes will increase the clearance of Suhagra.

Nicorandil (hybrid of potassium channel activator and nitrate) can cause severe interaction with Suhagra because of the nitrate component.
